INTRODUCTORY  NOTE. 


FAMOUS  liuniorist  once  said:  “There’s  nothing  new 
^ rV  % under  the  sun  ! Why,  the  ancients  themselves  stole  onr 
latest  and  most  improved  ideas!  ’’  We  will,  therefore,  say 
nothing  in  regard  to  the  originality  of  “ A New  Catalogue,”  even 
though  it  comes  from  ns.  We  have  tried,  however,  in  compiling 
the  present  volume,  to  keep  the  demands  of  a progressive  public 
before  us,  and  assure  onr  customers  in  presenting  them  with  a 
new  and  revised  Catalogue,  descriptive  of  the  goods  we  manufact- 
ure, they  can  depend  on  the  finished  article  being  the  best  of  its 
kind  made.  The  material  and  workman.ship  throughout  being 
thoroughly  first  class  in  every  respect.  We  have  for  many  years 
made  quality  and  prompt  shipments  a specialty,  and  in  extending 
our  line  this  sea.son  have  kept  onr  old  watchwords  before  us,  and 
can  assure  our  friends,  both  old  and  new,  of  a continuation  of  onr 
past  efforts  to  serve  them  promptly  and  well. 

We  would,  at  this  time,  call  special  attention  to  onr  Reversi- 
ble Eaves  Trough^  which,  during  the  past  three  years,  has  revolu- 
tionized the  eaves  trough  trade,  and  is  to-day,  perhaps,  the  most 
widely  known  eaves  trough  made.  We  shall  continue  to  use  in 
this  Apollo  B.  B.  Galvanized  Iron,  sending  out  a perfect  trough. 

Oiir  Ceiling  Department  will  be  found  to  embrace  a most 
artistic  selection  of  designs,  while  in  onr  Tinners'  Supply  Depart- 
ment a full  line  of  Tin  Plates,  Sheet  Copper,  Zinc,  Black  and  Gal- 
vanized Irons  are  always  carried  in  stock. 

Thanking  onr  many  friends  for  their  generous  patronage  in 
the  past,  and  assuring  them  of  onr  earnest  efforts  to  merit  its  con- 
tinuance in  the  future,  we  are,  soliciting  the  favor  of  a trial 
order  from  those  who  have  not  yet  dealt  with  ns, 

\'ery  truly  yoiirs,

RHODHS,  DICKKLMAN  & CO.’S  CATALOGUK. 


RHODES.  DICKELHAN  & CO.’S 

Patent  Slip  Joint  Reversible  Eaves  Trough. 

Patented  Nov.  7th,  1H93.) 

-Made  in  leugtlis  of  10  ft.  of  No.  28  gauge  Best  Galvanized  Iron. 

WE  DEVISED  IT.  OUR  COriPcTITORS  PURLOINED  IT. 

WHY  YOU  SHOULD  USE  IT. 

Because  it  is  the  best  in  the  market,  the  strongest, 
the  easiest  and  quickest  adjusted,  and  gives  perfect 
satisfaction. 

Because  it  has  no  right  or  left-hand  bead,  no  waste 
or  useless  stock  left  on  your  hands,  no  time  lost  in  wait- 
ing for  stock  so  long  as  yon  have  a length  left. 

Because  no  solder  is  required,  half  the  labor  saved, 
not  affected  by  contraction  or  expansion,  much  stronger 
than  soldered  trough,  does  not  get  out  of  order,  and  is 
made  of  the  hp.st  stock  tlu*  iiiarket  affords. 

Because  by  our  improved  method  of  making  slip 
joint,  we  have  overcome  the  difficulty  usually  expe- 
rienced in  slipping  joints  together. 

\o  friction,  no  lost  tempers,  no  had  words. 

THE  BEAUTY  OF  IT. 

Each  section  is  provided  with  a slip  joint  at  one 
end,  the  beads  of  which  are  provided  with  projecting 
tubes ; the  slip  proper  also  has  projecting  flanges,  which, 
acting  as  guides,  receive  the  entering  section,  throwing 
it  in  line,  so  the  projecting  tubes  of  bead  on  one  sec- 
tion receive  beads  of  entering  section,  and  a gentle 
push  does  the  rest. 

It  is  always  ready  and  does  not  have  to  be  coaxed 
into  amiability;  in  fact,  it  is  the  best  mannered  Trough 
in  the  world,  and  always  does  what  is  proper,  thus  win- 
ning for  itself  a high  position  in  the  regard  of  dealers 
and  tinners  generally.

BERGER’S  PATENT  ADJUSTABLE  IRONS. 

Furnished  in  either  Single  or  Double  Bead,  as  desired. 

Patented  October  14,  1879. 

Used  mainly  for  Slate  Roofs  and  where  it  is  undesirable  to  nail  on  Roofing. 
They  can  be  adjusted  to  any  fall  of  the  trough  desired,  as  the  holes  in  the 
circles  are  so  arranged  that  when  one  is  even  with  those  in  the  shank  for  the  bolt, 
the  next  is  part  way  over  another,  thus  giving  a fine,  uniform  fall  in  the  trough. 


Adjustable  Rafter  Irons. 

No.  II  Irons  are  especially  adapted  to 
Barns,  Mills  and  Factories,  where  the  raft- 
ers are  exposed.  The  shank  is  nailed  to 
the  side  of  rafter,  assorting  the  4,  6%  and 
9-inch  shank  to  correspond  with  the  amount 
of  fall  required. 

Adjustable  Roof  Irons. 

No.  12  Irons  are  made  ^ pitch  to  fasten 
under  the  shingles  or  slate,  and  are  easilj' 
bent  to  more  or  less  pitch  The  holes  on 
top  of  the  shank  are  made  beveling,  so  that 
the  nail  can  be  driven  at  any  point  and 
enter  the  shank. 

Adjustable  Drive  Irons. 


No.  7 Irons  are  made  to  drive 
square  in  the  cornice  from  3 to  4 
inches.  The  lower  prong  forms  a 
brace  for  the  upper,  and  makes  it 
very  strong  and  firm. 

No.  9 is  to  drive  with  the  pitch 
of  the  roof. 

For  crooked  eaves,  drive  and 
No.  7.  bolt  the  irons  to  a line. 

No.  8 Irons  are  made  to  drive  from  3 to  6 inches 
stjuare  in  the  cornice,  the  lower  prong  forming  a brace 
for  the  upper.  This  iron  is 
intended  for  eaves  where  the 
shingles  or  slate  project  far 
over  the  cornice. 

No.  13  drives  with  the 
pitch  of  the  roof.

NEVER=SL1P  CONDUCTOR  HOOKS. 

The  advantages  of  this  hook  are: 

The  points  are 
arranged  to  catch 
tlie  corrugations 
of  corrugated  con- 
ductor and  hold 
firmly. 

Will  hold  plain 
round  conductor 
as  well  as  corru- 
gated conductor. 

It  holds  the  pipe  firm,  cannot  slip 
as  with  smooth  common  hooks. 

The  points  simph-  dent  in  the 
pipe,  doing  no  injury. 

Does  not  require  soldering  to 
the  pipe;  when  hooks  are  driven 
the  work  is  done. 

In  ordering  hooks  for  2-inch 
round  corrugated  conductor,  al- 
ways specify  aj^-inch,  for  that  size 
pipe  measures  2^  inches  in  diam- 
eter.

ADVANTAGES  OVER  ALL  OTHERS. 

i.st.  It  catche.s  every  drop  of  water. 

2d.  It  cannot  turn  back  by  the  force  of 
the  water. 

3d.  It  requires  no  weight  or  catch  on  the 
lever  to  keep  it  to  its  place  when  turned. 

4th.  The  lever  being  short  and  having  rests 
or  stops,  it  cannot  be  broken  loose  by  trying 
to  tnrn  it  the  wrong  way. 

5th.  Having  the  shifting  tube  working 
loosely  inside  the  case  instead  of  a scoop  or 
pan,  the  flat  surface  of  tin  does  not  come  in  contact;  consequently 
it  is  not  liable  to  freeze  or  rnst  fast. 

6th.  Jamming  or  denting  the  case  will  not  interfere  with  its 
working  so  readily  as  it  does  with  others. 

7th.  Instead  of  being  made  of  coke  or  cheap  plate  and  var- 
nished over  to  make  it  attractive,  we  nse  the  best  grade  of  plate, 
snch  as  good  first-class  mechanics  prefer  to  nse. 

We  would  be  pleased  to  receive  a sample  order  for  the  Peerless, 
knowing  full  well  “once  used,  always  iised,'’  would  be  the  result.

OR  all  classes  of  buildings,  public  and  private.  Neat  and 
artistic  designs  specially  adapted  to  residence  work. 

Elaborate  designs  in  bold  relief  for  store  rooms,  public 
buildings,  churches,  opera  houses,  etc. 

Sheet  .Steel  Ceilings  are  artistic,  permanent,  and  fire-proof, 
and  combining  econoni}'  and  beauty,  they  are  rapidly  gaining 
a fixed  place  in  modern  architecture. 

The  Northrop  Ceilings  are  the  most  artistic  in  design,  the 
most  easily  adjusted,  and  the  most  economical  made.  Each 
panel  furnishes  its  own  finish.  No  ells,  no  cross-pieces,  tees  or 
mouldings  necessary  to  cover  rough  edges  as  in  most  other 
ceilings. 

We  furnish  working  plans  with  all  ceilings  and  estimate  on 
special  designs  when  desired.

EXPLANATORY. 


Stamped  Steel  Ceilings. 


Ceilings,  usually  made  of  Xo.  28  or  29  mild  steel,  have  come  into 
( CSi  extensive  use,  as  the)’  meet  a demand  for  a durable,  decorative  and  in- 
I combustible  interior  finish.  They  are  used  in  buildings  of  ever)’  class, 
and  especially  in  liusiness  property,  churches,  schools,  asylums,  resi- 
dences, etc.  They  are  light  in  \\ eight,  practically  air-tight,  unquestionably  dura- 
ble, and  have  in  numerous  cases  prevented  the  spread  of  fire. 

Xorthrop’s  steel  ceilings  have  all  the  improvements  of  construction  and 
artisticness  of  design  long  experience  has  found  desirable.  They  include  a 
larger  assortment  of  clioice  patterns,  with  appropriate  borders  and  mouldings, 
than  anv  other  make. 


The  Joints  are  the  most  perfect  and  simple,  being  made  either  on  a neat, 
ornamental  beading,  in  which  the  nails  do  not  show,  and  which  is  a part  of  the 
design,  or  on  a small  bead  moulding,  with  countersunk  places  at  regular  inter- 
vals for  the  nails. 

('out  imiOliS  Designs— Several  of  the  patterns  are  made  in  sheets  S feet  long. 

The  Painting'  of  the  ceilings,  in  the  shop  before  shipping,  is  done  with  pure 
white  zinc,  linseed  oil  and  turpentine,  on  each  side,  so  that  one  coat  less  of  fin- 
ishing paint  is  required  than  is  necessary  for  ceilings  painted  with  mineral  or 
other  cheap  paints.  Long  e.xperience  has  proven  this  paint  to  be  amply  durable. 

In  New  Duilding's  with  wood  beams,  furring  strips,  usually  1"  x 2",  are  first 
nailed  up  level,  crossways  of  the  beams,  spaced  to  suit  the  pattern  chosen.  Tlien 
pieces  are  put  in  crossways,  flush  with  the  first,  as  required,  and  the  ceiling  is 
then  put  up.  Some  patterns  do  not  require  cross  furring. 

In  Old  Huildi  ngs  which  are  plastered,  the  furring  strips  are  put  up  in  the 
same  way,  except  that  longer  nails  are  needed.  It  is  advisable  to  leave  the  old 
plaster  in  place,  as  it  cannot  do  any  damage  to  the  metal  ceiling,  and  it  deadens 
noises  from  above. 

In  Iron  liiiildings  furrings  of  wood  maybe  put  up,  as  has  been  done  in 
man\'  cases;  or  furrings  consisting  of  a stiff  sheet-iron  rib  may  be  used,  to 
which  the  panels  are  attached  with  screws,  as  has  been  done  in  the  Siegel-Cooper 
building  in  New  York,  and  the  Devonshire  building,  Boston. 

In  this  Catalogue  we  present  photo-engravings  of  some  of  the  various 
panels,  ])lates,  borders,  coves,  etc.  Prospective  purchasers  will  please  send  us 
plans,  diagrams  and  measures  of  the  rooms  to  be  ceiled,  mentioning  whether 
the  building  is  new  or  already  has  a plaster  or  wood  ceiling;  also  what  patterns 
or  arrangements  are  preferred ; whether  a large  or  small  cornice  is  desired,  or 
none  at  all ; whether  windows  or  stair  openings  interfere  with  the  cornice  or 
ceiling.  .Vn  intelligent  estimate  or  design  can  then  be  submitted.  For  churches, 
halls,  or  any  large  ceiling,  we  shall  be  jfleased  to  submit  special  designs  or  ar- 
rangements drawn  to  scale. 

When  necessar)  measures  are  received,  a plan  is  drawn  to  scale  showing  the 
spacing  of  all  the  panels,  borders  and  mouldings,  and  a list  of  the  various  parts 
is  annexed  and  sent  with  the  invoice.

Wlien  desired  we  will  send  competent  men— either  by  contract  or  by  days’ work  and  ex- 
penses. to  put  up  ceilings— no  matter  where.  We  find,  however,  that  a painstaking  carpenter, 
tinner  or  decorator,  can  usually  do  a very  satisfactory  job,  often  as  well  as  our  own  men.  The 
large  number  and  oft-repealed  or<iers  from  distant  points  to  be  put  up  by  local  mechanics  go  to 
prove  this.  The  usual  tools  needed  are  a hammer,  saw  for  the  furring),  chalk-line,  and  tin- 
ners’ hand  shears. 

When  writing  for  a design  of,  or  ordering  a ceiling,  mention  all  the  particulars  necessary 
for  planning  the  ceiling.  The  architect's  plans,  or  a diagram  showing  the  sizes,  off-sets,  stair 
openings,  elevators  and  fixed  chandeliers  is  usually  sufficient.  Mention  whether  a cornice, 
large  or  small,  is  desired,  or  can  extend  all  around  the  room,  or  whether  a wood  moulding  will 
be  used  to  finish  tlie  corner.  If  a church  ceiling,  send  floor  plan  and  a section,  with  particulars 
as  to  cornice,  ventil.ation  and  ch.^ndelifrs. 

When  particulars  are  received,  a plan  is  drawn  to  scale  and  submitted  for  approval,  to  be 
returned  with  order.  Corrections  can  then  be  made,  a list  of  materials  retjuired  and  directions 
written.  The  ])lau,  etc  , are  then  sent  on  with  the  invoice  and  bill  of  lading.  If  time  is  short, 
the  time  lost  in  sending  for  approval  may  be  saved. 

If  the  building  is  an  old  one  and  the  ceiling  is  plastered,  tlie  furring  strips  can  be  secured 
with  longer  nails,  reaching  into  the  joist.  Do  not  remove  the  plaster,  as  the  work  can  be  done 
just  as  well  with  it  on,  and  much  dirt  saved.  If  there  is  a plaster  cornice,  give  its  depth  and 
projection.  If  it  is  sound  it  may  remain  uncovered,  tlie  metal  terminating  against  it  with  a 
small  moulding,  but  if  cracked,  a cove  cornice  can  be  supplied  large  enough  to  cover  and  sup- 
port it. 

For  attaching  the  ceiling,  the  joists  or  old  ceiling  should  be.  for  the  smaller  flat  panels, 
ceiled  with  ja  in.  rough  pine  or  spruce  boards,  and  for  the  larger,  and  all  the  raised  panels, 
furring  strips,  I X 2 in.,  should  be  put  up,  spaced  as  indicated  on  the  plan.  Where  mouldings 
are  to  run,  wider  strips  are  necessary,  i x 3 in.,  i X4  in.,  i x 6 in  , or  two  i x 2 in.,  according  to 
their  size.  The  furring  is  first  put  up  crossways  of  the  joists,  then  shorter  pieces  are  fitted  in 
between  the  first  where  necessary,  all  to  be  flush  and  level.  The  panels  are  then  tacked  in 
j)lace,  the  cove  and  borders  put  up,  and  then  the  moulding  separating  borders  or  marking  divi- 
sions. The  mouldings  are  to  be  nailed  close  to  their  outer  edges.  Wire  nails  are  used  entirely 
— Ji  in.  X No.  17  for  the  panels  and  borders  ; in.  x No  15  (usually)  for  the  mouldings. 

When  up,  the  ceiling  will  need  one  or  two  coats  of  paint.  As  the  stamped  pattern  makes 
sufficient  ornanieutation,  more  decoration  is  not  necessarj*.  A “ fl.^t  ” finisli,  with  one  tint  on 
the  border,  one  on  the  C3ve,  one  on  the  central  panels,  and  one  on  the  mouldings,  is  the  ordin- 
ary treatment,  but  it  may  be  varnished,  grained,  bronzed  or  gilded,  as  you  wish. 

Ceilings  for  shipment  are  carefully  boxed,  not  crated. 

The  weight  (boxed  is  from  70  to  So  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft. 

The  freight  rate,  carrier’s  risk,  is  second  or  third  class  ; owner’s  risk,  it  is  fifth  class. 

Tlie  ceilings  are  painted  one  coat  each  side  by  dipping  in  a paint  of  pure  white  zinc  mi.xed 
with  pure  linseed  oil  and  pure  turpentine.  Most  manufacturers  use  “ patent  ” paints.  " roof- 
ing ■’  paints,  or  no  paint  at  all. 

Church  ceilings  are  almost  always  of  special  arrangement,  and  we  will  be  pleased  to  offer 
designs  and  estimates  whenever  particulars  are  received. 

The  constant  use,  since  introduction  of  these  ceilings  by  the  school  boards  of  this  and 
other  cities  proves  how  satisfactory  they  are  for  public  schools  and  similar  buildings. 

Architects  or  owners  wlio  wish  special  designs  or  arrangements  will  please  indicate  what 
is  wanted,  or  send  drawing,  and  we  shall  be  pleased  to  do  all  possible  to  meet  their  wishes.

iUR  Doi'kek  Folding  Lock  Seam,  Struble's  Cap  Seam, 
Standing  Pressed  Seam  and  Roll  and  Cap  (except  when 
specially  ordered  otherwise)  Roofings  are  made  of  geneinp: 
STEEL  only,  and  not  of  iron.  Certain  other  manufacturers  cjnote 
Steel  Roofing  bnt  nse  only  an  ordinary  quality  of  iron,  thus  de- 
ceiving customers  and  doing  a great  injustice  to  honest  competi- 
tors. P'ew  manufacturers  understand  the  importance  of  using 
best  quality  of  roofing  steel  in  their  products,  and  oftentimes  nse 
material  inferior  to  a good  grade  of  iron. 


Onr  steel  is  made  by  the  best  rolling  mills  in  the  country.  To 
OUR  ORDER,  it  is  re-rolled  and  box  annealed,  and  perfectly  free 
from  scales.  It  is  soft  and  tenacious,  standing  any  test  to  v'hich 
steel  can  be  subjected  without  breaking.  The  painting  is  done 
upon  the  grain  of  the  metal,  hence  it  will  not  crack  or  peel  off,  as 
is  the  case  when  common  scaly  iron  is  used. 


The  metal  is  thoroughly  inspected  and  all  imperfect  sheets 
thrown  ont,  the  utmost  care  being  maintained  throughout,  so  that 
our  steel  can  be  safely  relied  upon  to  give  perfect  satisfaction. 

Wl:  guar.\ntee  it  to  stand  the  test  of  double  seaming, 
either  lengthways  or  crossways  the  sheets,  without  breaking. 

It  is  more  compact  in  texture  and  far  stronger  than  iron, 
hence  superior  for  roofing  purposes. 


The  established  re  pit  tat  ion  of  manufacturers  should  be  con- 
sidered by  buyers  to  hen  placing  orders.

mitted by  all  mechanics  who  examine  it  to  be  TiiE  most  i>f;rfect 
AND  RELIABLE  IN  THE  MARKET.  The  plan  followed  throughout 
is  very  similar  to  that  used  in  double  folding  tin  roofing,  but  is 
much  stronger,  has  fewer  seams  and  can  be  applied  faster.  Then, 
too,  our  cross  locks  are  all  formed  by  machinery,  rendering  them 
perfectly  reliable  and  far  more  satisfactory  than  where,  as  in  tin, 
they  are  made  on  roof,  with  nothing  solid  to  mallet  on.  Side 
edges  are  easily  formed  with  special  tools  furnished  by  us  for  the 
purpose.  It  also  forms  its  own  ridge  and  hip  capping,  having  no

^ Steel  Roofing. 

This  roof  is  well  known  to  the  trade  at  large,  nianj-  niillioiis  of  feet  now 
being  in  use  in  the  United  States.  In  this,  by  onr  improved  method  of 
making  cross  seams,  the  imperfect  allowance  for  contraction  and  expansion 
that  has  been  the  greatest  defect  in  many  sheet  metal  roofs,  especially  on  flat 
surfaces,  has  been  overcome. 

No  nails  or  screws  are  used  through  the  sheets,  and  no  rivets,  countersinks 
or  perforations  through  the  seams  to  hold  caps  on. 

.\11  fastenings  are  completely  covered  by  cap  formed  the  tough  way  of  the 
metal. 

Each  sheet  is  laid  independently  and  may  be  removed  without  injury,  and 
in  case  it  becomes  necessary,  a part  of  the  sheet  can  be  easily  removed  without 
disturbing  the  rest.  It  is  easily  adapted  and  can  be  satisfactorily  applied  to  any 
class  of  building,  as  readily  to  the  highly  ornamented  and  minutely  complicated 
residence  as  to  manufacturing  establishments. 

Anchorage. 

The  cap  seam  is  one  of  the  most  securely  fastened  down  of  any  roof  in  the 
market,  and  to  those  who  prefer  sheet  roofs  is  sure  to  give  satisfaction. 

Can  be  safely  used  on  roofs  having  onh-  ^ of  an  inch  fall  to  the  foot. 

Felting. 

In  very  large  buildings  not  ceiled  or  plastered  under  the  roof  the  moisture 
contained  in  the  atmosphere  is  apt  to  condense  at  times  on  the  cold  surface  of 
the  metal.  Where  this  would  likely  be  the  case,  it  is  advisable  to  use  felting, 
as,  it  being  a non-conductor,  it  prevents  condensation.  Also,  for  places  where 
the  steam  or  fumes  are  particularly  heavy,  felting  specially  prepared  should  be 
used. 

We  keep  in  stock  two  kinds,  the  best  for  such  purposes.  No.  i Slater’s 
Felt,  Bird’s  Sheathing  Paper,  both  of  which  are  water  proof

HOW  HANUFACTURED. 

From  Struble’s  Cap  Seam  Roofing. 

The  side  edges  are  turned  true  by  machinery,  ready  to  be  applied  to  the 
roof,  except  turning  the  locks  on  ends  of  sheets,  which  is  omitted  for  conven- 
ience in  shipping  and  handling.  It  is  verj’  simple  in  construction  and  may  be 
applied  by  inexperienced  workmen,  though  it  is  generally  economy  to  employ 
tinners. 


Fig.  4. 


A Superior  Roof. 


That  it  is  a superior  roof  is  evident  by  the  favor  with  which  it  is  received  b_\' 
architects,  tinners  and  builders  wherever  it  has  been  introduced.  Another  im- 
portant advantage  it  enjoys  is  that  it  is  quickly  laid  and  may  be  readily  removed 
without  any  injury  whatever  to  the  roofing  sheets. 

Roofing  Tools. 

Our  Double  Folding,  Lock  Seam  Steel  Roofing  cannot  be  rapidly 
and  rightly  laid  without  using  our  Tools,  specially  made  for  this  roofing.  We 
always  send  tools,  except  to  agents  having  a set  of  their  own. 

In  our  “Struble’s”  Cap  Seam  Roofing,  Standing  Pressed  Seam, 
Roll  and  C.ap  Roofings,  the  tools  found  in  any  common  tin  shop,  viz.: 
shears,  mallet,  hammer,  folder  and  tongs,  are  all  that  are  required.  We  furnish 
these  when  desired  free  of  charge,  on  condition  that  they  are  promptly  returned 
in  good  order,  freight  prepaid,  on  completion  of  job.  They  must  be  billed 
to  us  as  a “Box  of  Castings”  (to  get  lower  freight  rate),  with  card  attached

PRESSED  CORRUGATED  SHEETS, 

For  Siding,  Ceiling,  Doors,  Shutters,  Awnings,  Etc. 


Made  of  Black,  Painted  and  Galvanized  Sheets,  of  the  Best  Quality. 


Corrugated  is  the  strongest  known  form  of  Sheet  Metal,  and 
imparts  material  strength  by  its  lineal  rigidity  to  the  structure  to 
which  it  is  attached. 

It  is  the  best  material  known  for  use  on  structures  of  moder- 
ate cost,  that  are  intended  to  be  fire-proof. 

The  rigidity  imparted  to  comparatively  light  sheets  by  corru- 
gating makes  them  self-supporting,  thereby  permitting  their  use 
on  light,  inexpensive  framing,  the  result  being  a substantial 
building,  with  a handsome  architectural  appearance. 

We  IJei  ‘0111  mend  Corrugated  Sheets  especially  for  siding, 
ceiling  and  partitions  for  fire-proof  buildings,  and  it  is  only  neces- 
sary to  suggest  the  advantage  of  using  this  material  forsuch^pro- 
tection. 

We  make  only  a high-grade  cpiality,  guaranteeing  both  ma- 
terial and  workmanship,  corrugating  b}'  pressure,  i.  ^.,  make  one 
corrugation  at  a time.  This  produces  more  perfect  formations 
and  better  fitting  laps  at  ends  and  sides  of  sheets  than  can  be 
produced  by  any  other  process. 

The  method  of  corrugating  by  rolls,  used  by  nearly  all  other 
manufacturers,  does  not  produce  uniform  corrugations,  nor  regu- 
lar covering  width  of  sheets. 

In  furnishing  quotations  on  Pressed  Corrugated  Iron,  we 
should  be  allowed  about  5 per  cent,  advance  over  quotations  on 
Rolled  Corrugated  goods.  This  is  more  than  saved 

P'iRST — By  economy  in  laying,  as  Pressed  Corrugated  Iron 
can  be  laid  in  one-half  the  time  required  for  laying  Rolled  Iron. 

Second — By  accuracy  of  fit,  as  all  corrtigations  are  uniform 
and  require  uo  trimming,  both  end  and  side  laps  fitting  squarely 
and  without  waste.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  PUTTING  ON 

Steel  Brick  Siding  Over  Wood  Sheathing. 

1st.  Get  the  level  of  your  building  entirely  around  its  base  or  top  and 
strike  a line  corresponding  thereto. 

•2n(l.  Place  a full  sheet  of  siding  at  one  corner  of  the  building,  allowing 
the  end  to  extend  two  or  more  feet  past  the  corner  so  that  the  cross  grooves  are 
immediately  over  the  corner,  the  lower  edge  of  the  sheet  resting  on  the  chalk  line. 

3rd.  Nail  the  sheet  fast  to  the  wall  through  the  grooves  sufficiently  to 
hold  it  fast  and  bring  it  down  solid  all  the  way  along.  Begin  at  the  middle  of 
the  sheet  to  nail  and  work  towards  ends  and  sides,  putting  nails  two  or  three 
bricks  apart.  Never  nail  through  the  brick. 

4th.  Bend  the  projecting  two  feet  around  the  corner  with  the  hands  or 
with  a piece  of  board,  using  a mallet  slightly  to  bring  down  anj-  uneven  places. 

.5th.  Lay  around  the  building  until  you  meet  the  commencement.  Place 
the  first  sheet  of  the  second  tier  over  the  first  so  as  to  break  joints  perfectly,  as 
in  brick  work,  letting  the  half  groove  at  the  bottom  of  the  sheet  lap  over  the 
first  and  fit  closely  in  the  half  groove  at  the  top  of  the  first  sheet. 

(>th.  Window  and  door  frames  should  not  be  put  in  until  after  the  siding 
is  on.  But  in  case  the  frames  are  in,  the  Steel  Siding  may  be  applied  and  faced 
at  doors  and  windows  the  same  as  for  wood  siding. 

7th.  .\t  windows  or  doors,  cut  the  sheets  about  three  inches  above  the 
bottom  sill,  and  the  same  distance  from  the  side ; then  cut  from  the  corner  thus 
formed  obliquely  to  the  corner  of  the  window  or  door  space,  bend  the  steel  with 
the  hands  down  upon  the  window  sill  and  around  the  side  of  the  studding,  and 
nail  it  fast.  The  window  frames  fit  in  over  these  laps  and  show  a complete 
Ixrick  finish.  Use  a %-inch  wire  barbed  nail  and  drive  through  the  grooves 
without  the  use  of  a punch,  but  always  use  a nail-set  to  drive  nail  home.  Cost 
of  nails  for  applying  siding,  5 cents  per  square,  and  will  be  shipped  with  siding 
when  so  specified  in  the  order.

Rules  for  Heasuring, 

After  the  Material  is  Applied  to  Building. 

Hoofs. — Measure  the  length  of  the  roof,  including  the  amount  turned  up 
or  down  at  each  end  or  gable,  and  multiply  by  the  distance  from  eave  to  eave, 
including  the  material  used  in  the  ridge  seam,  and  the  material  lapped  either 
down  or  up  at  eaves. 

Hoofs  with  Hips,  Valleys,  Dormers,  Etc. — Measure  each  section  through 
the  center  horizontally  and  multiply  by  the  length  of  the  strip  of  metal  at  the 
center,  and  in  addition  to  the  actual  surface  of  the  roof,  measure  the  length  of 
hips  and  valleys  by  one  foot  wide.  The  extra  measure  of  hips  and  valleys  is  to 
compensate  for  the  extra  labor  and  loss  of  material  in  cutting,  fitting  and  laying 
same. 

Opeuings.  -Make  no  deduction  for  openings,  chimneys,  stacks,  skylight, 
dormer  window,  pr  ventilator,  unless  such  opeuings  measure  more  than  50  scp 
feet  ; if  more  than  50  sq.  ft.,  and  not  more  than  100  sq.  ft.,  deduct  half  the  size 
of  the  opening;  if  more  than  100  sq.  ft.,  deduct  the  full  size  of  opening. 

The  labor  to  flash  pipes  and  round  stacks,  whether  of  brick  or  iron,  is 
charged  extra. 

The  reason  for  not  deducting  otherwise  than  is  specified  is  that  the  w'aste 
of  material  and  extra  work  in  cutting  and  fitting  the  material  for  flashing  such 
openings  is  equal  to,  or  greater,  than  the  value  of  the  materials  cut  out. 

Gutters  and  Valleys. — Multiply  full  length  by  full  width  of  girt. 

Siding. — ISIultiply  full  length  of  each  section  by  the  height.  Deductions. 
— Make  no  deduction  for  any  window,  door  or  other  opening,  unless  said  open- 
ing measures  more  than  10  sq.  ft.;  if  more  than  10  sq.  ft.,  and  not  more  than 
25  sq.  ft.,  deduct  one-half  of  such  openings.  If  more  than  25  sq.  ft.,  deduct  all 
of  such  openings,  except  when  the  wood  casings  to  the  windows,  doors  and 
other  opeuings  are  to  be  covered  with  iron  or  steel  casings  ; in  such  iustances, 
no  deductions  for  openings  are  to  be  made,  whether  the  openings  be  more  or 
less  than  10  sq.  ft. 

(iallles. — To  estimate  contents  of  gables,  multiply  the  width  by  one-half 
the  height,  or  multiply  the  height  by  one-half  the  width. 

Corner  Strips.-  .\re  charged  extra  by  the  lineal  foot;  the  cornice  is 
charged  extra  in  all  instances,  as  the  price  varies  according  to  the  girt  of  ma- 
terial used  and  style  of  the  same. 

Eave  Trouglis  and  Condnetor  Pipes. — Measure  the  entire  length  and  add 
one  foot  extra  for  each  Mitre,  Shoe  or  other  angle. 

Flashings. — Measure  all  material  used  necessarily,  including  unavoidable 
waste,  except  where  no  deductions  are  authorized  for  opeuings. 

Ceilings. — Multiply  the  length  of  each  section  by  the  width  ; separate 
mouldings,  panel  division  strips,  stylings,  cornices  and  friezes  are  calculated  by 
the  lineal  foot,  e.xtra  ; rosettes  and  other  ornaments  are  charged  by  the  piece  ; 
painting  other  than  first  coat  is  always  charged  extra,  lilake  no  deductions  for 
openings  measuring  less  than  10  si],  ft  ; if  more  than  10  sq.  ft.,  deduct  the  full 
size. 

Scun’olding. — Wlierc  scaffolding  is  necessary,  the  customer  is  to  furnish 
all  necessary  materials  for  the  same  free  of  charge,  and  the  roofer  is  to  construct 
the  scaffolding  free  of  charge. 

Domes,  Spires,  Doors,  Efc.— Measure  all  material  necessarily  used,  in- 
cluding waste  ; charge  for  it  at  its  value,  together  with  cost  of  labor,  applying
